Congress hits back at PM Modi, says people told his govt in polls 'tumse na ho payega'
Lok Sabha, saying that he mentioned "tumse na ho payega" in his speech when 140 crore Indians had told his government the same thing in the just-concluded general election. Prime Minister Modi mounted a stinging counterattack on Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi as he mocked him as «balak buddhi» (childish mind), accusing him of linking Hindus with violence and making false claims in Lok Sabha. Modi also sought stringent action against Gandhi to protect parliamentary democracy.
Replying to nearly 18-hour long discussion on the Motion of Thanks on the President's Address in the Lower House, Modi said the Congress and its «ecosystem» are working day and night to impress upon people that the BJP-led NDA has been defeated in the elections despite voters handing his government a historic third-term for stability and continuity.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge slammed Modi for calling the party «parasite» and claimed that the prime minister had used the term for farmers as well in 2021.
In a post in Hindi on X, Kharge said, «The way you mentioned 'Tumse Na Ho Payega' in your speech of two hours and twenty four minutes, 140 crore Indians had have said the same thing to your government in this election. The farmers who provide food to us voted against your false promises of 'doubling their income' and said — 'Tumse na ho payega (You are not up to it)',» he said.
Crores of youth wandering from door to door voted against the BJP's claims of providing «two crore jobs annually» and said «tumse na ho payega», Kharge
